Quote
from Carole published in Photoplay (shortly before her death)
"Let me tell you this: Every girl in the world wants
to find the right man, someone who is sympathetic and understanding
and helpful and strong, someone she can love madly. Actresses
are no exception; The glamour and the tinsel, the fame and
the money mean very little if there is hurt in the heart."
